This newly-released feature film directed by Michel Hazanavicius is a throwback to the early silent-era of Hollywood filmmaking. Set in the 1920s, and scored by luscious orchestral music, this film has been nominated for 6 Golden Globes, and a flurry of others in the international circuit.

I can't wait to see The Artist. A silent film made today is a ballsy move indeed. But at the same time, I'm a bit surprised no one has tried to make a silent film for so long. Surely the novelty would be intriguing enough to backers?

Nonetheless, I can't wait for it. If it gets nominated for Best Picture, it would have to be the first silent film in over 80 to do so!

I was skeptical of first but after looking into it more and checking out the trailer, it looks very interesting and something I might enjoy. Thank you.
